Things were so much easier at the time.
This is why Politico has decided to expand in Brussels to cover European politics: if there is something that journalists love, that does something easy. And so, Politico Europe was born.
Make the policy of the EU sexy? Piece of cake. Enlighten European institutions to make them more intelligible? You have it. Cover too complex processes to adopt laws that most people don’t like, only some understand, and no one will ever hear in the 27 member states? Register us.
We crossed the terrible two with Brexit and Donald Trump in power in the United States – Never forget the glorious Tweet Covfefe; We have also learned to read and write about pandemics and viruses born air in our primary school phase – declassified secretly missing COVID -19 days during the sitting position on binging television of sofa that was considered a responsible citizen. Finally, a visionary of Politico Towers agreed to launch this column even in 2019 – a real sign of bravery.
But we officially approach our pre-adolescent years: we want good luck, we will need it.
In 2025, the climate is still on fire – literally – and no one seems particularly embarrassed by this; The funny uncle of Europe which will not refuse this drink offer after all – Jean -Claude Juncker – was replaced by the more severe and sober monarch, Ursula von der Leyen; And the pages of pages of terrorist attacks were given to the wars which are still taking place in Ukraine, Gaza and many other places in the world.
Here is another decade of chaotic policy and not so boring politicians; I hope we will have fun along the way.
